Cloud Engineer — Job Description

Summary

Designs, builds, and operates cloud infrastructure and platforms to enable scalable, secure, and cost‑effective application delivery.

Key Responsibilities

Design, deploy, and maintain cloud infrastructure (IaaS/PaaS) using best practices for availability, security, and cost.
Implement and manage Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi.
Build and operate CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and application deployments; automate release workflows.
Manage containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) and platform services (EKS/GKE/AKS).
Implement networking, VPCs, load balancers, DNS, and connectivity (VPN, Direct Connect) architectures.
Configure identity, authentication, and authorization (IAM, RBAC, SSO) and enforce least‑privilege access.
Implement cloud security controls: encryption, key management, secrets management, vulnerability scanning, and compliance monitoring.
Monitor infrastructure health and performance; implement logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting (Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch).
Optimize cloud costs through rightsizing, reserved instances/savings plans, and lifecycle policies.
Troubleshoot production incidents, perform root‑cause analysis, and implement remediation and runbooks.
Migrate on‑premises workloads to the cloud and modernize legacy systems to cloud‑native patterns.
Collaborate with developers, SRE, security, and product teams to define SLAs, SLOs, and operational playbooks.
Evaluate and pilot new cloud services and managed offerings to improve platform capabilities.

Hands‑on experience with IaC tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi).
Strong knowledge of container platforms and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
Experience with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, CircleCI) and automated deployments.
Solid understanding of networking, security, and identity concepts in the cloud.
Proficiency with monitoring and logging stacks and incident response practices.
Scripting skills (Python, Bash, Go) and familiarity with Linux system administration.

Preferred Qualifications

Cloud certifications (e.g., AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Azure Solutions Architect, Google Professional Cloud Architect).
Experience with service meshes, serverless platforms, and hybrid/multi‑cloud architectures.
Familiarity with policy-as-code and governance tools (OPA, Sentinel).
Experience with observability platforms, chaos engineering, and cost‑management tools.
Background in platform engineering, developer self‑service portals, or building internal developer platforms.

Competencies & Soft Skills

Operational mindset with strong incident‑response and troubleshooting skills.
Collaboration and stakeholder communication across engineering and security teams.
Automation‑first approach and focus on reliability and scalability.
Ability to prioritize work in fast‑moving environments and document runbooks/playbooks.
